the bait: we are going to make an AI that can solve any problem a expert human could solve. it’s gonna transform the whole world.

the switch: what we have actually made is fun and kind of amazing in its own way but rarely

That model probably won’t come out this year.

And it didn’t even win IMO (25+ high school students did better; most professional mathematicians probably could if

The statement by @FoundTheCode is a sarcastic response to a conversation about AI's capabilities, specifically regarding its performance in mathematical competitions. The tone is dismissive and challenges the credibility of @GaryMarcus by questioning his ability to win an International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) gold medal, implying that he is an ordinary person. This statement is part of a broader public discourse on AI's capabilities and limitations.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the dignity of @GaryMarcus by implying he is a 'common/general man,' which could be interpreted as a form of belittlement. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. Instead, it resorts to a personal attack by questioning @GaryMarcus's abilities in a sarcastic manner. [-2]
